I'd like to request that an "H" continuity be set aside for some historical projects that are being worked on.

It is possible (and one of my goals) that the Mystara 2300 BC line would be compatible with this continuity. If so there would be at least 3 different projects in the works right now (Shimmering Lands, Mogreth, and Taymora) that could fall under that umbrella. More may be forthcoming.

To further what John has said, this continuity is to be as close to canon as canon itself permits. With this as a foundation, various works can be built on top on this structure such as detailed timelines and historical-era gazetteers. I hope that this project can open up campaigning in Mystara's history and make it an accessible option.

I have added a GazH designation; however, do you want it to be strict canon (+logical extensions), canon-compatible but fan-controlled, or loosely canonical but heavy on the novel introduction?

FWIW, I'd group a condensed history of the Known World Atlas as case 1, the listings of Thyatian dynasties or a discourse on the ten great orc tribes of the pre-Canolbarth Streel Plain as case 2, and necromantic Taymor or the lizard kingdoms of 2300BC as case 3; but even then, there is shading between the categories. We can even give separate markers - H for strict history, HC for Chimpman's 2300 project etc.

Thanks OldDawg. GazH is intended to be a case 1 (strict canon plus logical extensions), with some case 2 built on top of that; i.e. fully canon compatible. However, you raise a good point about having sub-designation system where something like the 2300 BC work can be recognized as compatible as well.

I don't know if it can be considered a "fan" continuity or rather a "dad's" continuity, but there is also Bruce Heard coverage of the various parts of Alphatia in his website https://bruce-heard.blogspot.com/

And his Heldannic Knights, Snartan Empire and World in Flames materials.

I think many consider Bruce Heard's online material more or less on the same level as his published material (ie canon). Perhaps not all of it is used, but then again many people ignore parts of published material too
